The center of Tropical Depression Katrina, which was once a powerful hurricane along the Gulf of Mexico coast, moved northward across western Kentucky. The center of the depression passed near Hopkinsville around noon. Peak wind gusts were generally around 45 MPH. At Hopkinsville, the peak wind gust was 44 MPH as measured at the Fort Campbell observing station. The strong winds were generally along and southeast of a line from Henderson to Madisonville to Mayfield. An unofficial measurement of a wind gust to 72 MPH was reported along the west shore of Kentucky Lake in Calloway County, however, minor damage in the area was not supportive of such strong winds. A couple of docks were dislodged or damaged along a bay near Jonathan Creek. Elsewhere in Calloway County, the road department responded to 32 reports of roads blocked by trees or limbs. Across the entire area affected by strong winds, scattered trees and limbs were blown down, including some across roads and power lines. A few large trees were uprooted in Christian County, which fell in yards and across roads. No structural damage was reported. In the city of Henderson, several trees fell on city streets. Power outages affected over 10,000 utility customers in western Kentucky. In the Henderson and Owensboro region, 6000 customers were affected. 2500 customers lost power in the Kentucky Lake region, 2000 customers lost power in the Pennyrile region (Madisonville to Hopkinsville), and 800 were affected in the Purchase area (west of Kentucky Lake). Widespread power outages were reported in Princeton and Marion.
